My favorite thing about working on a project that uses #OpenUSD so far is that I can just use grep (ripgrep) to figure out relationships or where stuff is referenced.

We’re happy to share that Preflight, the quality gate for OpenUSD, is now in public beta! 🛫

I love seeing progress made in USD ecosystem with unifying all DCCs and render engines. There are still enough issues which makes it hard to build 100% interchangeable workflow. One of the issues is a not 100% standardized lighting. This is a cool talk going deep on this subject.

Hello!!! I'm happy to share the final result of this little project I developed to test the USD/Karma workflow in Solaris. It's been a lot of fun creating the environment, testing the RBD Car Rig system and simulating the sand storm with Axiom. Hope you enjoy the process.

Hello there
I've been working on my Python skills, trying to make a thumbnail generator tool for USD variants, and get the resulting combinations automatically.
Currently working on Solaris and Karma and need some fixes for fast rendering.
